We often underestimate the power of a kind word. A simple "You're amazing!" can lift someone’s spirits, change the direction of their day, or even pull them out of a dark headspace. Appreciation costs nothing, but its value is immeasurable — for both the giver and the receiver. Photo by Eneida Hoti on Unsplash In a world that often feels fast, transactional, or divided, slowing down to recognize the good in others isn't just nice — it's necessary.

📘 Mini Course on Body Language, Inspired by an Old Favorite. Remember Google Primer? That clean little app that taught you big things in small doses? I loved it. It was like having a wise (but cool) mentor in your pocket, feeding you bite-sized knowledge while you waited for chai to brew. Sadly, Google pulled the plug on Primer. But the idea stuck with me. So here’s something straight from that nostalgia: a mini course on body language, short, swipeable lessons that you can breeze through without getting a brain cramp.
This course is built into the blog (yep, no download required) and covers key non-verbal cues, from eye contact to posture to that weird thing we do with our arms when we don’t know where to put them. Whether you're giving a presentation or just trying not to look awkward at a networking event, these quick tips can help.
💡 It’s not a deep dive, but it will get you thinking about how you carry yourself—and how others see you. This body language mini-course is the first of many. We'll be sharing more practical micro-courses like this soon—on everything from public speaking to handling tough clients without losing your sanity (or your job).
👉 Tell us in the comments: Did you find this useful? Did you nod along like you read Slide 12? 😉 We'd love to hear what you think and what topics you’d like in future courses.
